Moonshine Still Doesn't Work According To Plan | Moonshiners

On their first run in a long time as a team together, Tickle, Lenny, and Kenny build a blacktop submarine still to distill their peach mash. In order to keep it running as silently and efficiently as possible, the team decides to use the stream to cool down the vapour to extract the alcohol, but disaster strikes as the branch worm isn’t cooling the vapour enough.

So the copper sheet then the stainless over the wood? Or vice versa? I’m still confused on how it’s constructed lol

[@cheeseburgers1435]

It’s copper on the top of it then the bottom is covered in the stainless steel, the stainless steel is on the bottom because it is stronger and can hold the weight of all the liquid inside , if you put the copper on the bottom it’d rip apart under the stress

[@liammcooper]

the bottom half of the entire still is made out of stainless, and the top half is copper. they aren't layered, it's two pieces.

I didn't know shark bites work with boiling water

[@TheChivGaming]

They could have made fins for the pipe in the water that would have given them greater surface area for cooling and made it a bit more compact.

[@charlesbrown4483]

It would have to be manufactured with fins on it which would be super expensive. Cheaper and easier to just extend the pipes to create more surface area and thus time to cool the liquor.

[@Chivalry1978]

@@charlesbrown4483True. Though with the same total piping I would have spent some time adding some loops in the pipe where it sits in the water thus not increasing the size impact while increasing surface area and time in the cooling water, but that is just me.

[@charlesbrown4483]

​@@Chivalry1978 With the same amount of piping the surface area will be the same no matter what and the difference in time would only be a couple seconds. But making loops out of it means it could be in deeper water and it probably would cool better that way than just being at the surface like they had it.

[@Chivalry1978]

@@charlesbrown4483 pretty much. Only reason I suggested fins was my pc building experience. CPU' naturally while running will want to get over 90c with no cooling solution. A simple aluminum heat sink and fan can drop down to about 70's. A more elaborate heat transfer fin system and fan can drop that down to 60's. A water pump constantly cycling water that is cooled down in a radiator can get that below down to the 40's. So having the majority of the surface area and heat transference in a already flowing cooled medium like a creek would work amazing but keeping it simple more tubing and loops seems more practical and would not require welding and would lessen the maintenace you would need to do on the cooling solution.

Your legally allowed to brew your own liquor in some states however your not allowed to distribute it so if they don't film the sale it's not technically illegal

[@saltyspitoon5089]

The police can’t use it as evidence since the production and sale already happened before any of the episodes aired and it’s not a formal investigation, one of the stars Mark explained it in an interview. Not saying a lot of it isn’t scripted, after a season or so what show doesn’t get that way 🤷‍♂️

[@Cragified]

Simply put this is the motions of running a shine still but you can't actually tell from the video if it is actually spirits being distilled. They could just be boiling water and condensing it back and deceiving the audience (something the producers of this have done often). Basically they are going through the motions but there is no proof they actually are distilling spirits for either the audience or the law's concern. It's perfectly legal for me to run a still to distill water for example.
